Virtuoso Fang Jinlong revealed behind-the-scenes stories of his groundbreaking 2026 collaboration with action legend Jackie Chan and music icon Lionel Richie, calling it 'a musical handshake across continents.'
🎤 'We transformed the stage into a cultural crossroads,' Fang told audiences. The performance blended Richie’s soulful vocals, Chan’s martial arts-inspired percussion, and Fang’s lightning-fast pipa riffs – proving music truly is humanity’s universal language 🎵.
🌍 The viral moment (trending at #SpringFusion on Weibo) resonated with young audiences worldwide. As Fang noted: 'Whether you’re in Beijing or Buenos Aires, everyone wants the same thing – hope, connection, and bangers that make your grandparents dance!'
